Quickrest - Automatic REST client

Quickrest is a simple JavaScript library that makes quickly building REST clients easy. For example, you might have a blog API with the following endpoints:

• /users
• /users/posts
• /posts
• /posts/comments
• …

With quickrest, you simply describe the layout of your API, and the library will create a javascript object with properties and functions that match the API’s semantics.

import quickrest from 'quickrest'

const api = quickrest({
  root: 'https://api.example.com',
  endpoints: [
    'users',
    'users/posts',
    'users/posts/comments',
    'posts',
    'posts/comments',
    'comments',
  ],
})

// get nested resource
// GET /users/9000/posts/3
api.users(9000).posts(3).get()

The library is primarily meant to be used in a browser environment and is a WIP.
